[Freeciv-Dev] (PR#12834) amortize()

["Brian Dunstan" <bdunstan149@xxxxxxxxx>]

<URL: http://bugs.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=12834 >

I noticed that the amortize() function uses a very
clever, but complicated, algorithm.  The reason
apparently is to save time.  If that is the purpose,
why not use a more transparent, but slower algorithm,
and use it to make a lookup table?  Normal calls to
amorize could just be reading an element from a 20- or
100-element integer array, which would be faster than
what is there now.
